success is so much sweeter after you worked that hard...congrats

Thanks all, some of the birds came easy and others were hard to get. Are you having your bird mounted Ryan? They are expensive but make for a great mount. TJ You guys killed probably half the birds that were killed up there ....Unfortunately I'm not going to get him mounted. I will probably just buy one of those plaques to put the fan and beard on.

you guys laid a smackdown on them birds! congrats to all you guys....those are all beautiful birds...thanks for sharing with us Tom

Shot this bird this morning. Got out to one of the spots I know they had been roosting. I just got lucky they were in there this morning. I hiked out to the ledge let out a few loud yelps with the mouth call and sure enough I got three toms to gobble. I setup had them come right to me. I ended up with my first turkey. I was happy to be able to share the experience with my dad. It was a very tough hunt this year. I had only heard one gobble out of the four days I hunted prior to today. He weighed out at 17lbs and had an 8 inch beard

way to go! awesome job

Thanks everybody Lance, I was the only tag holder, unfortunately no one else in my family hunts except my uncle and cousin Hey Tom, I guess it makes sense that you are so good looking( family genetics), you did have your niece I beleive in a beauty pageant or Miss America, one of those

awesome! thanks for sharing the story and pics. How were the road conditions up there?

awesome looking buck

I was going to say you would really have to be talented to get 120 seconds....even 30 for that matter after they first start getting faster I panic and lose right away

I agree...I dont think they lived up to all the hype about em'...I was a little dissapointed or should I say I expected more

that is so neat to see...thanks for sharing those pics

oh man...that thing is incredible!, great find

I dont think they have yet. One thing you need to notice is the difference between reflective and non-reflective yardages. That leupold rf has a 1500 yard reflective rating.....then the non-reflective rating is less then half that. A deer or any type of animal are considered "non" reflective. So in reality that leupold rf should not pick up an animal over I would say around 500-600 yards. Like most people recommended the Leica CRF 1200 is a great rf....its hard to keep these rf's in stock...we are always having issues getting them into our store, mostly due to their popularity. It is a sweet RF...they also have a 900 model Like Doug, was saying about the swaro rf, it does have a big circle so it is hard picking up objects at a distance. Another thing is it has a dim read out which in a lot of sunlight it is hard to read at times. Another thing is it is slower on giving you readings. Out of all the rf's it has the best optics to me. Another rf I would recommend is the Nikon 800 or 1200 I think they are really good for the money. I have found that these two have the best capability of picking up objects at longer distances. They have a really sensitive laser. In SW we have some chains hanging down from the rafters, out of all the rf's these two nikons can pick up the chain. I have not been able to w/any other rf out of a countless # of attempts. One downfall is that sometimes it can be too sensitive, and if you are archery/rifle hunting in thick country, you could be trying to range an animal and get a false reading because you got a reading of a twig that is 10-15 yards behind the animal. IMO, buy the Leica or the Nikon
